G, and the spring has square corners at the top.

Wow! That is some amazing work. Glad the head went to a good home as it was just laying around here. As to I.D...it did have a little piece of white or cream handle on it originally, but it was melted like it was put in an oven.

Two patent numbers on the head - it's a Type G.

Without the original handle, I'll not even attempt to guess which one.

Beautiful job!

G doesn't have side flaps.
Good point.
But the E-Type only has one patent number.
What's halfway between E and G?
Where are the experts when you need them?
BBS across the street should have a look.

'45~'46 transition model, using E spring on G razor, using up parts.

What are the words on the spring around the rivet?

It says Shick Injector.

   

First use of this re-handled Schick still not sure if it's a late E or a G. Either way it shaved great. I will have to do a comparison shave with ones I know to be a G and an E soon.

I made the handle slightly longer than the ones on my other E or Gs and it feels wonderful. Although if I make another I think I will go a bit bigger yet.

Interesting. I sure appreciate it whatever it is. And thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you approve of what I did with it.

That's what I thought, but couldn't see it well enough, I'm gonna stick with '45~'46 transition model, using E spring on G razor, but it has a nice handle and it doesn't live in the landfill, that's what matters! Wink
